Rex the German Shepherd had such a vicious nature that it took two people to feed him - one to distract him and one to throw a bowl of food into his enclosure.

He ate wild rabbits that roamed anywhere near him and barked and growled at anyone who came close and staff at the resuce centre where he was homed were coming close to making the decision to put him down.

But all that changed when Geraldine the goose walked into his life.

Rex, 11, fell in love with the goose and his temperament has calmed - saving him from a likely death.
